the nominee is federal judge ruth bader ginsburg. if the senate approves, she will be the second woman ever to serve on the nation's highest court and she would serve alongside the first justice, sandra day o'connor of arizona. judge ginsburg is considered a woman's right to an abortion. now, there'll be some argument about whether she's considered a moderate or not. that's one of the fulcrum points at which the debate about her nomination no doubt will turn but she considers herself a moderate and supporters of her say that she is a moderate. president clinton's decision was a long time coming. justice byron white announced his retirement some three months ago. this announcement will be held in the white house rose garden and there you see the president and his supreme court nominee rose garden, walking very near the magnolia tree planted by andrew jackson during his presidency in the last century. officials at the white house had led reporters to believe that the choice had been narrowed down to interior secretary bruce babbitt and

so there is a long consistent history of justice's involvement in political activity and for ruth bader ginsburgments about the political campaign strikes me as small potatoes compared to the history of such involvement. >> i haven't seen people who criticize ginsburg acknowledge the historical record and take that into account in setting her statements in historical context. >> as a factual matter you are correct about charles evans hughes and i mentioned douglas when this came up, times have changed. the place of the supreme court in modern life is as the justices all acknowledge when they are nominated or confirmed, they try to be more cut off from day today political events. i don't bring any great naÏvetÉ to the subject. i recognize supreme court decisions are often deeply political in their nature but there is a tradition many decades standing, many decades now that justices should try to stay out of the day-to-day electoral politics of the country. that is an appropriate line to draw. ruth peter ginsburg crossed that line, she recognized it and that is why she apologized and is not doing

court is 4-4, and if hillary clinton gets elected you'll have a liberal supreme court, and if ruth bader ginsburgires she will be replaced by yet another liberal. >> eric, you mention the supreme court. look, i want to make sure that we put somebody in there that embraces our values on the supreme court too. then why would the nominee be picking a fight with john mccain and kelly ayotte? >> you say he's picking a fight. how about immigration at the supreme court level? how about gun control at the supreme court level? how about minimum wage at the supreme court level? these are things i worry about, my 17 or 18-year-old son has to worry, not whether or not donald trump fights with john ma cacca. >> eric, we need to maintain the senate. fighting with john mccain and kelly ayotte, two senators in difficult reelections, that's not going to be help maintain s. >> how does not voting for donald trump help you win the senate? how? >> my priority in this election is to maintain the senate and to maintain the house. like i said -- >> so saying sitting this election out is the way you'll maintain the sena

. -- ruth bader ginsburg. she was saying that there's a lot of systemic things in place that just like it is hard to get women and people of color to run for office, yet to ask them multiple times and the systems are not set up that way, it is the same thing. they have to be asked over and over again. that it was around the clerk system so if you look at the justices when they are deciding who they want to clerk, they are doing this, they're picking people who look just like them and so the justices are white men, they will say,, looks just like me. come on up and be my card. clerk. it is one of those think that we have to impacted both when they and we have tool check the systems of who can even get into law school to even be there. it is so expensive and how is it that people who are in communities of color are even going to get their? quality public school life and things to a scholarship to a masters degree at cornell and it was a culture shock and an economic shock and a great middle class. it is a whole

court seem to move in a progressive discretion was the 14th amendment perhaps think thankful to ruth bader ginsburg. where does that fit into the larger narrative about the burger court? >> i think what it it's here is that it was a response to changes in society and the world around them, changes in the role of women in the workplace and in the home and actually ruth ginsburg has said modestly, she had had a good deal to do with creating this jurisprudence. she came around along at the right time when the court was ripe for this. one case that i emphasize maybe more than people might expect was an early case of pregnancy discrimination. those of us in this room old enough to remember when a public school teacher got pregnant, she had had to leave. whether she wanted to or not, mandatory unpaid leave with a long leave. this was challenged as a violation of equal protection and the court struggled with it and the burger court couldn't quite deal with this. where is the discrimination? it's not discrimination between men and women, it's discrimination between pregnant women and not pregnant women. wh

trump calling on the russians to hack hillary clinton and also claiming ruth bader ginsburg's mind isthere now, trump's attacks on the khan family. at number five, he saw video of the plane that transported millions of dollars in cash. later it was found to be news b roll. number three, trump's suggestion that the second amendment people could do something about clinton even after she was elected, which he later somewhat unconvincingly said he meant as using their unity of purpose to organize people to vote. number two, trump's repeated claims that president obama is the founder of isis and also hillary clinton just for good measure, which he today tried to play off as a joke. and today, trump said he would be fine sending americans accused of terrorism to gitmo for military trials which is unconstitutional on its very face. perhaps not a surprise from the candidate who said he would bring back water boarding and more. we'll keep updating as circumstances dictate, which when it comes to trump, they always do. you laugh. you worry. you do whatever it takes to take care of your family.

equality under the 14th amendment, thanks perhaps largely to litigation brought by justice ruth bader ginsburg. >> definitely. >> where do you think that line of cases fits into the larger narrative about the burger court? >> so where i think it fits in is that it was, of course, a response to changes in society, changes in the world around them, changes in the role of women in the workplace, in the home. and actually ruth ginsburg has said kind of, you know, modestly , i mean, she had a great deal to do with this juris priewps, but she has said she came along at the right time when the court was ripe for this. the point we fake the book -- we make in the book is this far, no further. an early case of pregnancy discrimination where those of us in this room old enough to remember when a public schoolteacher got pregnant, she had to leave. whether she wanted to or not, mandatory up paid leave -- unpaid leave with a long leaf and so on -- leave and so on. and this was challenged as a violate of equal protection. -- a violation of equal protection. and the court struggled with it, and the burger c

ruth bader ginsburg was the most inspirational person we have met. she has been an idol of mine for a long time. i either want to be in the legal profession or possibly a senator. but she has done such amazing work to advance women's rights and especially women going into the legal system. so it was really an honor to get to speak to her. c-span: what did she say when she made her presentation that will you will remember? >> that is tough. well, she talked a lot about the influences of different supreme court justices and sort of their legacies. so i guess it makes you think about like what you want your legacy to be even if you are not a supreme court justice. but just how impactful some of their state department's decisions have been and if i one day become a lawyer i will want to put a lot of thought into these important decisions because it is something that is really going to stick around. c-span: in this room a few days ago she gave an eulogy to justice scalia and they were close friends over the years and couldn't have been more different. is

very long and consistent history of justices' involvement in political activities, and for ruth bader ginsburg campaign strikes me as small potatoes compared to the histora of such involvement. i know the issue has been raised but i haven't seen those people who criticized ginsburg acknowledge the historical record and take that into account in setting her statements in historical context. >> guest: i think -- i mean, as a factual matter, you are clearly correct about john jay, about charles hughes, andd william douglas. mentioned douglas earlier when this came up. times have changed. the place of the supreme court in modern life is, as the justices all acknowledge, when they are nominated, when they're confirmed, they try to be more cut off from day-to-day political events. i don't bring any great naivete to this whole subject. b i recognize that supreme court decisions are often deeply political in their nature, but there is a tradition that is of many decades standing -- and it's really decades now -- that justices should try to stay out of the day-to-day electoral politics of the country.
